JCM 9,130 #3 Posted October 11, 2019 @cafoose I remember in 1989 when I went to my local dealer to purchase a WH and found the 312-8 was in my price range and unfortunately the 520-H sitting next to it with a price tag of 4000.00 and another 700.00 got you a 42'' SD deck not something that a lot of customers were willing to dish out unless you really knew what a WH tractor was capable of and to this day it amazes me that someone could let a beautiful piece of USA machinery end up in that state. I applaud you for bringing that home and saving it in some way to let yourself or others possibly let it live on. Thank you 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #5 Posted October 12, 2019 Would that possibly have an eaton 1100 ? The 520h l had parted out last year looked like the same year as that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #6 Posted October 12, 2019 My! Pennsy is just littered with Wheel Horsies at bargain basement prices. Just what I was looking for - a cheap wrecked 520 with an Eaton 11 just waiting for me. Fantastic score! I would have peeled off a Benjie without thinking and you actually argued? That compounds the score. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That compounds the score. I learned long ago that asking prices are not always set in stone no matter how low they are. Never hurts to ask. It was on for over a week so I thought he would come down to get rid of it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
